āGood scent. Opening is a bit harsh though. But I don't get why people are saying it is long lasting. The performance is terrible in my experience.Projection dies out after 30 mins and last 3 hours maximum.Edit:It terns out, I was going nose blind and my bottle needed some maceration. The longevity is good now. And the projection good the first 30 mins and stays moderate through out the rest.ā
āIf you love the premium DNA of BDC this is a must buy. It opens with a clean, straight out of the shower feel. Dry down evolves into a rich, creamy lavender and sandalwood base that smells expensive and office safe. Performance wise is a total beast for a freshie. Iām easily getting 2, 3 hours of projection and a solid 8-10 hours of longevity on skin. Feels like a 93% Exclusif for a fraction of the cost and this is 9/10 blind buy for me. Don't bother with Seasons Drift and Khadlaj Icon, I wasted my money. This one is the best.ā
āOpening smells like play dough, the drydown is pretty nice but nothing special. It doesn't last that long on skin, maybe 4 hours max. I'm going to sell it or trade it.ā
